Speaking in a completely hypothetical manner: have you, as a writer, ever finished a chapter or two, then found a nagging voice in the back of your mind that said, "No, no! It would be so much better this way!"? Did you, then, act upon that voice, and found yourself completely throwing away the two chapters you wrote to make the "better" one ( Read more... )

And so it is, too. Christmas is done with, the New Year buzz is starting to dull, and most people are beginning to gear up for school again ( Read more... )

The first presidential debate is finally over, and I nearly died while watching it. Seriously. George W. Bush is definately not a skilled debater (although he's better than some people give him credit for,) and there were a few mistakes that he made that he really shouldn't have. (For example, he really should have called Kerry when the latter ( Read more... )

Having (finally) discovered 1UP.com, and noticing that a great deal of these posts have to do with video games in one way or the other, I've decided to go there and grab a username/blog/what-have-you. It should prune some of the more dry (for those of you not particularly interested in my gaming) posts, and at the very least, it allows me to ( Read more... )

Haven't really encountered anything worth updating, really. Still drawing, still playing games (and trying to beat them, a much harder prospect,) still playing D&D, and still posting on various message boards. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, "All Quiet on the Western Front." :-/

Technically, I came back yesterday, but was too tired/intrigued to do much of anything but sleep and play games.

Intrigued in what, you may ask? In the aging (but still vibrant) Dungeon Keeper 2. I've been interested in this game since I saw the cover art for it a year or so ago, but only now got the opportunity to get it. (Thanks to the "Vault ( Read more... )

I'm heading out to Ohio later today, and will be gone for most of the weekend. Skipping both church and D&D is... different, but I'll be fine (of course.) By the time I get back, perhaps the jobs I've applied to will finally respond. Then again, perhaps not. One can only hope and pray ( Read more... )

Survivor XIV is over. I dropped out after round... four, was it? Since it's tradition, I'll go ahead and post my thoughts as to the tournament itself, and go from there.

( Survivor XIV: How a Bad Character can go Horribly Wrong )

Considering that this round for SXIV is the omake, and I made only one half-hearted attempt at posting in it, I decided to beat Megaman X5.

And I did. Easily. I didn't realize until half-way through that I didn't need to continue once with Zero. That is including the standard-issue bike-riding nonsense that came with Battletoads, the Quickbeams ( Read more... )
